THINGS TO DO IN TILLAMOOK

Last night we had some surprising weather. First the lightning and then the rain and thunder. We were already snug in bed, so it wasn't much of a problem for Kathe and I. Jim spent a few hours yesterday straighten out our fancy chrome mudflap with help from Warren. He had it all shined up and covered it with a towel until he and Warren could reinstall it. The towel got soaked and so did the mudflap, so the darn thing had to dried and all shined up again today. As a matter of fact, he's still working on it.

Well, there are other things to do in Tillamook besides visiting that factory, eating their cheese samples and ice cream. Turns out there is another cheese factory just down the highway.  Today they visited the Blue Heron Cheese factory for wine and cheese tasting. There was a fabulous gift store and deli restaurant. It was a completely different adult experience. They did have a petting zoo and a candy store so there were some kids around, but it was a day and night experience from yesterday's tour.

You know by now that my humans can't resist visiting a pioneer museum whenever they have the opportunity. So, today they spent a few hours in the Tillamook County Pioneer Museum. The building was once the county courthouse, and the three floors are filled with over 55,000 items from prehistoric specimens to modern day. Room after room of treasures of the past. Great way to spend a cloudy day at the beach.
